> Hiya. I'm starting on 75mg Effexor tommorrow but have read about people starting on 37.5mg. Have you tried both? Or just started once on the 75mg? How was it? Did it seem a bit too intense?? people have said they noticed a good difference just on 37.5mg - is it really that noticeable? And of so, wow, whats 75mg gonna be like?! eek

>Hi pretty_paints,
When I said he should be fine in a blase way it was because I wanted to put a positive spin on it. I started on 75mg because I can't get 37.5mg. It would be best to start at 37.5 for a week to lessen the start up side effects, since the original poster was already into day 5 of 37.5mg I think he would be fine. When I started Effexor it worked instantly for me, but the worst side effects never went away for me. I added Remeron to my Effexor intake & it countered these problems nicely for me.
Cheers,
Panda.
